Find a better way to affordable housing

Find a better way to affordable housing

I REFER to recent comments made by Anthony Schinck, CEO Ballarat City Council,
in The Courier.

There are many folk who would agree as I do that there is a
desperate need for affordable housing for low-to-medium income earners in
Ballarat.

However they would also draw the same conclusion that the proposed
development for 12A Hickman Street may be medium-density and low-rise in a
capital city but in Ballarat might be regarded as high-rise and high-density.

Also, there is sufficient evidence to suggest that the building model
proposed for 12A Hickman Street would have significant negative health and
social consequences for the intended tenants and the City of Ballarat compared
to the benefits.

The model proposed for 12A Hickman Street is designed for
its cheapness and it would be shameful for the City of Ballarat to approve this
development.

There are numerous organisations and individuals dedicated to
providing the very best affordable housing and rental accommodation in Ballarat
and around Australia.
